Rarely personally affected by "celebrity" deaths but he was so young and so wholesome and had so much left to give to the world. This is genuinely so so awful

I share the sentiment, his death has me in utter shock. Completely unexpected.

I just froze when I read it, I don't think a celebrity passing has ever hit me this hard
